General.
The 6V53T engine (model #5393)(Fig. 1) is a 6-cylinder, fuel
injected, 2-cycle, V-type diesel engine.
It is an internal
combustion engine that converts the heat energy in the fuel into
useful torque within the engine cylinders. The various components of
the engine transmit this torque to the flywheel as output energy.
Numbering of the cylinders is one, two, and three from the front
(accessory end) of the engine, on both banks.
When determining
position of a component on the engine (left or right), view the
engine from the rear or flywheel.
The firing order of this engine
is:
1L, 3R, 3L, 2R, 2L, and 1R.
As viewed from the front of the
engine, this engine rotates clockwise.
